How far in advance should I book my charter coach rental?
The further in advance you can book the charter, the better. Although Anderson has a large fleet, there are certain times of the year when we sell out of buses! To guarantee availability for your dates, we recommend you get a quote and book as soon as possible.
Can we just reserve the coach without making a commitment of booking?
Unfortunately, our system only has a quotation and order status. In order to ensure that you have the transportation you need, we recommend booking as soon as you are able and securing your charter with a deposit within 10 days.

Multi-day and multi-coach movements must be cancelled prior to 60 days before departure in order to receive a full refund. One-day trips must be cancelled prior to 30 days before departure in order to receive a full refund.
I do not have an exact itinerary; can I still receive a quotation?
Yes, but we need the best possible information that you can give us at the time of quotation. This includes dates, approximate times, pick up and destination locations. Having all of this information will help us give you the most accurate price possible through our custom computer software system. If you’re still not quite sure of the details, we can get you a quote, but please note, changes to the itinerary may result in changes to your quoted price.
